Slow, no air but pretty grisly

This is one of those with little glamour to it. Slow, no air and in what looks like pretty ordinary conditions. The impact is not good.

Big, big air

Massive air and little to be done about it after launch but every chance that guy is lying in the snow thinking ‘wow, someone has to have caught that on cam.’

Too much or too little commitment?

This one is hard to call, it seems like a progressing snowboarder who wants to move on to the next level but wasn’t quite ready for it. The result of the indecision was  a pretty heavy landing.

Flat and tarmac – a bad combination for a landing

At some point during this road gap jump the rider must have realised the landing was going to be bad. Added to that were the numerous onlookers who saw this one coming.

Overcast, miserable snow and a landing that ends seasons

This was likely to be the last jump for a while. This is definitely one of the ones that lacks any positives.

Eat snow

Great air but  it went wrong in the final sections – nicht gut!  The last rotations are pointing toward a messy landing and they don’t get too much worse face plants than this one.

This guy wasn’t sitting down for many days

The second box slide was really pretty elegant but the exit was not good – that must have been some extreme pain.
